What the numbers say about Venezuela in 2027

The count uses Saturday and Sunday as the weekly rest days, the standard pattern in Venezuela. Only holidays that apply across the whole country are deducted. Someone working in a region with its own extra days will have a little more time off than these figures show.

9 holidays land on a rest day this year: Slavery Abolition Anniversary (21 Mar), Labour Day (1 May), Mother's Day (9 May), Father's Day (20 Jun), Journalists' Day (27 Jun), Children's Day (18 Jul), Simón Bolívar's Birthday (24 Jul), Caracas City Foundation Day (25 Jul), Christmas Day (25 Dec). On the calendar alone that means no extra time off. Some countries move the day off to the next working day; whether that applies here is set by national rules, so check before you plan around it.

April is the longest working month with 21 days, and February the shortest with 17. A gap of 4 days is enough to make a fixed monthly target noticeably harder in some months than in others. Across quarters, Q1 is the leanest at 54 working days (January, February, March).

2026 had 238working days, so 2027gives you 2 fewer working days.Plans copied over from last year without adjusting for that difference will be slightly off from January onwards.

Among the 204 countries we track for 2027, the median number of national holidays is 12. With 34, Venezuela sits above the middle of the range, around the 99th percentile (the lowest count this year is 3, the highest 49).

Holidays create 12 stretches of three or more days off in a row. The longest lasts 4 days, from 14 January to 17 January (Feast of the Divina Pastora, Teacher's Day). There are also 5 bridge days: a single working day squeezed between a holiday and the weekend, where one day of leave turns into four or more days away. See every long weekend in 2027.

7 holidays change date compared with 2026: Carnival, Carnival, Ascension Day, Mother's Day, Corpus Christi, Father's Day and more. Movable dates are the ones most often missed when last year's schedule is reused.
